Musk answered Amodei in three words: Dario is right

Saturday’s post by Dario Amodei is titled “We Must Pace the Frontier” and turns on one line: “We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.” Sam Altman agreed on X, calling pacing “a primary topic” at OpenAI in recent weeks. Musk kept it to three words.

All three posts follow Thursday’s Anthropic threat report, which attributed more than 151 million exchanges to Alibaba alone between May and July.

The ask isn’t to stop development, only to buy researchers “an additional one to two years” for protections. Otherwise, he warns, “swarms of rogue AI agents could take over the internet in as little as six months from now”.

Anthropic would give outside evaluators employee-like access to its systems. Altman said OpenAI will do the same and promised to “have more to share soon”, without naming a date.
